Pros

Location, nice building, good food nearby

Cons

Bart is out of control and how clients and showrooms cannot see through his act is beyond me. He imports fabric from cheap overseas mills and re sells them as if it’s something he designed. Management is shameful. They thrive on humiliating employees to feel a sense of power and authority. It is a never ending cycle of hiring someone on, abusing them until they leave, and so on and so on. Bozena, his #2, is not to be trusted. She will befriend you and speak horribly of Bart, then secretly tell Bart everything and pretend you were the one saying what she said. A few past employees and I have all spoken and confirmed that this is what she does to ensure she is a permanent fixture there. Manipulative, immature, and threatened by young talent. The two of them together make quite the toxic pair. I have never experienced such a horrible work environment.

Pros

I have worked at Bart Halpern for 15+ years. I began in an administrative capacity and worked my way to a managerial position with significant responsibilities overseeing company daily operations and assisting Bart with developing new products. I have been promoted from within the company several times and can confidently state that Bart rewards initiative, hard work and dedication to his brand. Despite at times a frenzy of activity, our work environment is quite relaxed in some ways. The studio is a beautiful and rewarding place to work. Bart is a pleasure to work with especially when you deliver results. He is supportive, loyal and makes me feel like family.

Cons

Clients all over the world. While I don't mind making myself available early mornings or evenings to deal with various tasks, there have been employees who were unwilling to put in the time or effort. This company is not for anyone who is not willing to work very hard, stay on top of a million details, manage time wisely to complete work flow in timely manner and ultimately provide excellent service to our showrooms, designers and architects.
